Story

This year Raff asked if he could do the Marathon des Sables….. it’s 250km through the Sahara and he’s just 16 years old…. 

He’s bidding to become the youngest ever competitor from the UK  …

… he’s dragging his dad along for his third attempt, having completed in 2014 and failed in 2016

Please please give what you can to support Raff in raising as much as he can for this wonderful charity that has helped the family so much in the last 10 years  


There are 2.5 million people worldwide with multiple sclerosis, and it is one of the most common disabling conditions amongst young adults. But there is hope beyond a diagnosis of MS.Overcoming MS is the world’s leading multiple sclerosis self-management charity. Our vision is that everyone with MS can lead the fullest life possible, using the practical, proven and positive OMS Self-Management Programme. We provide information, grassroots support, and campaign.
